If you’re a Democrat thinking about running for president in 2028 and you don’t believe calling to abolish ICE is a line in the sand for Democratic voters, you’re done before you even begin. This isn’t something that can be fixed. It’s broken and it needs to be torn down to the ground.

shooting a woman in the face is not an optics problem, it is a *problem* problem
Trump is privately worried about the "optics" of ICE raids and his advisers are looking for ways to soften them, Axios reports. I'm calling bullshit: The terror and violence cannot be hived off from the broader policy agenda. They are 100% intrinsic to it.

Trump’s Own Advisers Suddenly Unnerved as ICE Raids Take Horrific Turn
So the president doesn’t like the “optics” of what ICE is doing. But there’s no such thing as sanitized, popular mass deportations—and this is by design.

Again it is something that people in previous eras have commented on but I still find it just astonishing to witness in my own: fascism is somehow the natural ideology of loser men, just all of our most pathetic and contemptible instincts rendered into a worldview.

Holy shit.

Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

you do not have to hand it to David Shor but unfortunately a lot of folks listen to him so it is Good, Actually that he’s telling Dems to start crapping on ICE more

maybe Schumer will get the memo one of these days
Even David Shor's firm is telling Democrats in private communications that ICE is politically toxic right now.

This is hilarious and I applaud the hilarity. Let’s be honest. Probably best just close CBS News down now before it gets more embarrassing.
“Huge internal concern” among CBS staff over that “internal bleeding” story.

Wow, that really is a picture for our times - a woman evidently in one of the care-giving professions standing off - if even for a moment seven over-armed paramilitary thugs who are trying to invade her house.

These people have the worst cases of Stockholm Syndrome! The answer to this should be, "You're a public servant. I expect you to answer my question civilly and without insults. If you can't, find me someone who can." What would happen? He'd get barred from these sham events? And lose what, exactly?
LEAVITT: Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed?

REPORTER: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably

LEAVITT: Oh, ok. So you're a biased reporters with a biased opinion. You're a left-wing hack.

The amount of anger and resentment this cruel and corrupt administration has engendered in America’s liberal majority has not been fully realized by the Democratic Party.

But it will be a political force.

The Democratic base doesn’t just want to win. They want to cow their opposition.

And good.
I'm sorry, Appeasement Democrats, but we already tried your way. Working to hide Trump's malfeasance from the public, sanding off as many rough edges as possible, working to avoid confrontation under the theory that he wants confrontation, then trying to move on as if it didn't happen failed. Badly.

it's very clear that this is a template for how they're going to approach other cities

they do not and will not have enough people to do it everywhere all at once but if you live in a city there's a very good chance that an occupying army will show up at your door in the next few years
I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

It's bad enough that Trump is turning the USA into a global pariah, but it's even worse when you remember how he keeps insisting that "world leaders respect us again" now that he's in charge.
Look at what Trump has done.

Negative double digits across the board.

Add in Epstein Files, and he's -30 on that.

Trump is weak, MAGA's policies are unpopular, and he has NEVER HAD SUPPORT OF 50% of the country.

This should shame every institution that has bent the knee and continues the bend the knee to this fascist regime.
